Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 886 Late Nascent Soul Stage Heavenly Puppet
Ning Ding looked closely and a strange light appeared in his eyes.

There were five cultivators attacking another person.

Of these five Nascent Soul cultivators, three happened to be old acquaintances of his.

A handsome man in black armor appeared before them; it was none other than Sikong Yuanlie.

Although he still had several wrinkles on his face, he looked much better than he had back on Yaori Peak.

Clearly, the life force that this person had consumed when activating that Mystic Light Gourd has now recovered somewhat.

There was also a young man dressed in a scholar's robe who looked somewhat sickly; he was none other than Sikong Zhibo, who was in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm.

The other man, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark blue robe, surrounded by intense blue winds, and exuding an air of majesty, was none other than the leader of the Ascension Alliance, True Lord Wind Dragon.

Besides these three, there was also a beautiful woman in a white dress with snow-white hair and a delicate face, who was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

There was also a burly man in brocade robes with a ruddy complexion, who was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

These five Nascent Soul cultivators include three mid-stage and two early-stage cultivators. Furthermore, cultivators like Sikong Yuanlie and Fenglong Zhenjun are not ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, making their lineup extremely strong.

However, even with the combined strength of five people, they were unable to defeat their opponent.

The person being attacked was a handsome young man dressed in a black long robe.

A strange black aura emanated from this person, protecting him within it, and it appeared to possess immense power.

The various magical treasures and supernatural techniques used by the other five attackers not only failed to break through the black light circle, but instead, they were repeatedly sent flying backward as if struck by some kind of violent attack, their spiritual light flashing wildly.

Ning Fa, watching from afar, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. This young man in black was actually a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!

Judging from his ability to withstand these five Nascent Soul cultivators and even suppress them, he is probably not an ordinary great cultivator.

What Ning Fa found somewhat strange was that although he and the young man in black should have never met before, he felt a sense of familiarity with him for some reason.

Ning Fa soon discovered that the young man in black seemed to be in an unstable state.

Every hundred breaths or so, his spiritual pressure would drop drastically, becoming barely at the level of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.

At this moment, the person will quickly fall into the formation below.

At this moment, Sikong Yuanlie and the others seized the opportunity and unleashed their magical treasures and supernatural powers to bombard the five-colored light shield above the formation.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the young man in black will fly out of the formation again.

At this moment, his spiritual pressure would return to the powerful late-stage Nascent Soul level, suppressing Sikong Yuanlie and the other four once again.

At this moment, Sikong Yuanlie and his four companions did not rush to attack, but instead held their positions firmly, seemingly focusing on wearing down the enemy.

After going back and forth twice, Ningfa finally understood.

Clearly, the young man in black was not in a stable state and needed to replenish his mana from time to time through this formation.

But strangely, this formation was clearly a protective barrier for the great cultivator's cave, so why was this young man in black able to recover his condition using it?
Could he be the owner of this place?
Or perhaps that great cultivator is still alive?

This idea greatly surprised Ningfa.

After all, judging from Shang Yang's soul search, that great cultivator came to the Nine Dragons Sea more than three thousand years ago. Even if he had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he should have perished by now.

At that moment, Ning Fa's expression suddenly changed.

Suddenly, the black feather in his storage ring stirred. Through mental connection, his excited, fearful, and somewhat hesitant voice came through:
“Young master, I feel that person’s aura is very familiar to me. He… should also be a celestial puppet.”

"What! This person is actually a celestial puppet as well!" Ning Fa was shocked when he heard Hei Yu's words.

No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity when he first saw the young man in black; it turned out that the other party was also a celestial puppet!

Moreover, its cultivation level has reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Such a high-grade Heavenly Puppet is truly unbelievable.

After all, Ning Fa knew very well how difficult it was for a Heavenly Puppet to advance to this level, no less than for a normal human cultivator to advance to a Great Cultivator.

Ning Fa immediately realized that this late-stage fourth-order celestial puppet was very likely left behind by that great cultivator to guard his cave, which was why he was able to replenish his mana through that formation.

In that case, it's clear that the great cultivator also practiced the Heavenly Puppet Scripture.

This puzzled Ning Fa even more, since he already knew that the Heavenly Puppet Scripture was passed down by the Blood Heaven Sect.

And that great cultivator came from the Tianwu Continent, so how did he know about the Heavenly Puppet Treasure Scripture?
Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but become even more curious about the great cultivator's cave.

At this moment, he did not rush to make a move, but instead sat back and watched the two sides fight it out.

Just then, Ning Fa's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look at a seemingly inconspicuous corner of the underground hall.

There was no one there. As Ning Fa activated the Heart of the Moon God, a white light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately noticed something amiss.

There was a figure lurking there.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Ning Fa did not investigate further, and therefore did not know the person's specific cultivation level.

However, this person clearly had the same idea as him, intending to be the one who suffers the consequences.

Judging from this, this person's cultivation level is definitely not weak.

Ning Fa's eyes flickered slightly, and he had a certain guess about this person's identity. This person was very likely a member of the Cangliu Sect.

Since Shang Yang had previously informed the Cangliu Sect spy who was in contact with him, it is very likely that the Cangliu Sect also sent someone to intervene.

Ning Fa thought to himself, "It seems that the treasures hidden in this great cultivator's cave are not so easy to take."

His mind raced, trying to figure out how to intensify the fight so he could strike amidst the chaos.

But at that moment, the black halo surrounding the young man in black suddenly trembled, knocking away all the magical treasures that were attacking him.

At that moment, he raised his right hand high, and a black circular light blade that looked extremely sharp quickly formed.

Upon seeing this, Sikong Yuanlie and the others were immediately startled and quickly retreated far away, clearly having suffered a loss from the black-clad youth's move.

With a loud buzzing sound, the black blade of light shot out suddenly.

But to everyone's astonishment, the black blade actually drew an arc, strangely changed direction, and flew towards a certain place.

With a sound of thunder and lightning, a giant palm formed of silver lightning suddenly slammed towards the black blade.

A burst of black and silver spiritual light appeared, and then both vanished into nothingness.

Then a flash of light appeared beside them, revealing the figure of a person.

It was Ningfa.

At this moment, he was looking at the black-clad youth who resembled a celestial puppet with a look of surprise, not expecting that his Concealing Moon Technique would be seen through.

At this moment, Sikong Yuanlie and the other four were too shocked to make a move, their faces filled with astonishment.

Especially when they realized that the person who suddenly appeared was Ning Fa, the expressions on the faces of Sikong Yuanlie, Sikong Zhibo, and Fenglong Zhenjun became even more interesting.

All that could be seen in Sikong Yuanlie's eyes was shock, resentment, and fear.

Fenglong Zhenjun was furious.

After all, Ning Fa had looted most of the treasure trove of the Immortal Alliance, Dragon Island.

Many of these treasures were collected by Fenglong Zhenjun with tremendous effort, so when Fenglong Zhenjun learned of this, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Even knowing that the hope was slim, and that he had not yet recovered from his injuries after escaping from the Purple Void Palace, he still ventured deep into the desolate sea, hoping to find Ning Fa based on Sikong Jing's clues.

It can be said that his hatred for Ning Fa was no less than that for Sikong Yuanlie.

He stared intently at Ning Fa, his body writhing with violent blue wind blades, and grinned maliciously, "Boy, you actually dare to come back! Today, I, Feng, will definitely tear your soul apart and refine your spirit, otherwise I will not be able to quell the hatred in my heart!"

Although Fenglong Zhenjun also noticed that Ning Fa had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, in his opinion, Ning Fa, this newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivator, was definitely no match for him.

But Sikong Yuanlie grabbed him from the side.

Although his expression remained relatively calm, his eyes betrayed a deep-seated hatred for Ning Fa.

After all, in the previous battle at Yao Ri Peak, Si Kong Hao, a promising fourth-tier body cultivator in the family, was tragically killed by Ning Fa.

Sikong Jing, who also had the potential to advance to the level of a great cultivator, had her physical body destroyed by Ning Fa and had to escape by leaving her nascent soul.

Although he has now taken possession of a new body, it will be almost impossible for him to break through to the later stages of the cultivation realm again.

He himself had also consumed a lot of his life force by forcibly activating the spiritual treasure, the Xuan Guang Magic Gourd, and his chances of advancing to the later stage were also slim.

It can be said that Ning Fa alone brought indescribable and enormous losses to the Sikong family.

Therefore, when they returned, the Sikong family was furious and wanted to gather the clan's experts to go to the Five Spirit Sea to capture Ning Fa.

But at this moment, the Tianyan Sect took the initiative to demand an explanation.

Because Sikong Yuanlie had previously instigated Sun Xiong to betray the sect and join forces with the demon cultivators there, although the purpose was to deal with Ning Fa, he was in fact like a human traitor, almost causing the Tianyan Sect to lose its ability to defend the Tianrong Fire Swamp.

Although Sun Xiong was dead and no conclusive evidence could be obtained, the Tianyan Sect still sent an envoy to the Sikong family, demanding an explanation from them in a strongly worded manner.

It should be noted that the Tianyan Sect is undoubtedly the third largest sect among the nine major sects of the Tian Shu Alliance, second only to the Tai Chu Sect and the Wu Gou Sword Hall in terms of sect strength.

The sect has four great cultivators and as many as twenty or thirty Nascent Soul elders, making it much stronger than the Sikong family.

Only the Xiao family, the most powerful family in the entire Yuan Shou Ancestral Court, can be compared with it.

Furthermore, the Tianyan Sect has always been known for its domineering and aggressive style, often disregarding even the authority of the Taichu Sect and the Wugou Sword Sect.

Furthermore, they don't play by the rules and are actually capable of launching an attack on the Sikong family's territory.

Therefore, the Tianyan Sect's accusations were very persuasive. In the end, the Sikong family refused to admit anything, and the Xiao family intervened to mediate. The Sikong family compensated the family with a batch of spiritual materials, and the matter was dropped.

However, before leaving, the envoy from the Tianyan Sect warned the Sikong family again.

Ning Fa is an elder of a force under the Tianyan Sect and made great contributions in the battle of Tianrong Fire Swamp. If the Sikong family dares to harm Ning Fa, the Tianyan Sect will certainly not sit idly by.

Since Tianyan Sect had said so, the Sikong family, though seething with hatred, had no choice but to abandon their plan to gather forces and go to the Five Spirit Sea to cause trouble for Ning Fa.
